Random Bus stop guy: "Yeah I'm fine just you looked like you were about to pass out ..is the heat getting to you?"

Me: .....O_o.......*FLEES* not gracefully either.

Just a typical day waiting to walk my nephew home from the bus stop , I normally hide in the park to avoid the other people waiting
but there was no one there at first , and I thought it was safe then this guy comes out of no where and I felt awkward so I didn't move I just stood staring at the ground till he started talking to me.

I cant ask shop staff if they have an item either I just look and if I cant find it I just leave. Even if they ask me if I need help I just squeak out no and move out of the shop as fast as possible.

But then there is work.

Me: "Once again you fail to understand what the word 'Work' imply's are you an idiot? Do you think this is high school?? Stop your Bitching and get back to WORK!".

Me: "Can you Count?"

Staff member:"..what I don't understand..."

Me: "What is 1+3"

Staff member: "..4"

Me: "Oh dear its learned to count..so tell me..how many Oil bottles do we have in stock?"

Staff Member: "...4..."

Me: *Smile* " So tell me why you wrote down 2 on your stock take sheet?".

Funniest post I've read today.
Query: So what would happen if the bus stop guy walked in as a customer?

permission to speak, no need for permission

Thanks , ah the accidental hilarity of crushing social phobias.

Lucky for me that I'm normally found skulking around in the bottom office as I am generally in charge of paperwork , the only real time I have to talk with customers is when my incompetent peons cant help or their is a customer grievance. If by some slim chance I did run into him at the work place , id just pretend I have no idea what he's talking about and quickly pass him over to one of the floor staff , then book it down to my office and hide behind my filing cabinet fort for a while.

It may be a social phobia, or it may just be that you are genuinely uninterested in what they have to say. You could always just find people who talk about things you don't care about and stop worrying about how you act in uninteresting conversations. Otherwise, you can either teach yourself to become interested in things people have to say which, at first, seem uninteresting - or just pretend you are interested. If you want to pretend to be interested just watch people have conversations in which they seem interested and simply emulate them. The latter is probably the most practical solution.

It's not the social phobia that's funny but the way you treat your staff.

Sometimes when 'm having a convo I get totally self conscious, I think that the person is judging me or something like that
But now I know that that's almost never true, when I'm thinking like that I know I'm taking things too seriously and thinking too hard
So now I just be myself, and if I have nothing to say or if the conversation becomes dull or whatever that its ok

Peons xD

Haha but you see they are not children or teenagers they are people in their late 20s all the way up to late 40's.
If they are not squabbling between themselves about who said what about who , bitching about who's wearing what , blaming each other for not doing any work ,they are ignoring the customers. I really dislike people who slack off at work so I'm perfectly happy for them too see me as the shedevil so at least I know they will do stuff when I'm around. Its a whole different story for the afternoon manager ...haha poor guy.
